I know, and *most* of those rides end up safely. Still, would you
suggest that practice--offering/accepting rides to/from a person they've
never seen before at the bus stop--to your son/daughter/spouse?

When Grace worked downtown and took the bus via the Park-and-Ride, she would
accept rides from such people... I guess this is not just from *anyone*
since these people tend to be what might be considered upwardly mobile
professionals... All in all, I don't think that many of the problem
individuals that you are so concerned about are driving Mercedes, Volvos,
Saabs, and such while wearing suits...
